Veeam 100 Summit and Hardened Repository with immutability

t’s been a few weeks since I returned from the most excellent Veeam 100 summit, this time in Berlin! I’m lucky enough to have been a Veeam Vanguard since 2021, and this was the first time the summit happened in Berlin. The last time I was in Berlin was at least 15 years ago.In this post I am not going to sum up the summit directly; There are some blog post from fellow Veeam Vanguards and Legends I link at the end of the post. Instead, I want to focus on the new version of Veeam Hardened Repository (VHR), that was introduced during the summit.have set up VHR in my home lab before, and decided to load the ISO directly into the home lab from Berlin, because….why not;-)One big change is that VHR is becoming official…like production official. VHR will be supported by Veeam, so you can open a support case if you run into issues. Here is the statement from Anton Gostev, Chief Product Officer at Veeam.“Support This build is now a subject to Veeam Experimental Support. This means this build is

homelab software upgrades - Kubernetes

I have been neglecting my home lab the last few months! So much so it was running a rather dated version of Kubernetes - 1.27.7 I wrote a post here on the trials and tribulations of the upgrade path to 1.30.6 which is the stable version and latest and greatest version that Veeam Kasten supports https://vzilla.co.uk/vzilla-blog/upgrading-my-talos-kubernetes-cluster

Veeam 100 Summit Recap - Berlin 2024

Last week I finally had the time to write my review of the recent Veeam 100 Summit that took place in Berlin for 2024. It was a fantastic event and experience as always meeting new V100 members and talking with the veterans. It even had a surprise announcement from @Cragdoo moving from the V100 over to being a Veeam employee - congrats again Craig!Feel free to check my blog here as it is quite lengthy with many screenshots and pictures -Veeam 100 Summit Recap - Berlin 2024

My Veeam100 Summit Berlin Experience

This year marked the 5th year being priviledged enough to attend the Veeam100 Summit. Since my 1st attendance in 2018, the venue has normally been held in Prague, CZ. The Product Strategy Team decided to change things up a bit and hold this year’s event in Berlin, DE; that would be Deutschland , or Germany, for those who use Duolingo 🙂 . With the event being held in a new city, and getting a preview of some of the content decided upon to be shared, I was really looking forward to the event this year!The Summit was held the last week of October. And personally, I love going this time of year to central Europe as the Fall colors are at or slightly past peak color.Fall in BerlinI got to Berlin a day and a half early so I can peruse around the city to take in some sites I’ve longed to see since my youth – Berlin Wall Memorial, Brandenburg Gate, Holocaust Memorial, etc. It was so surreal viewing the Berlin Wall Memorial. In the middle walking area there were pictures of Germans who lost th

Calculating 🤓Required Proxy Tasks 💪

In my previous Topic I showed how to use the Veeam Architects Site ,but how does it give us the amount of Cores and memory that the proxy will use? I'll show you … Getting the right amount of processing power is essential to achieving the RTO/RPO defined by the business. In this section, we will outline the recommendations to follow for appropriate sizingWe defineD = Source data in MBW = Backup window in secondsT = Throughput in MB/s = D/WCR = Change rateCF = Cores required for full backup = T/100CI = Cores required for incremental backup = (T * CR)/25Example:Our sample infrastructure has the following characteristics:1,000 VMs 100 TB of consumed storage 8 hours backup window 10% change rateBy inserting these numbers into the equations above, we get the following results.We need to change TB to MB / We need to change Hours to SecsD = 100 TB * 1024 * 1024 = 104,857,600 MB (Source data in MB)W = 8 hours * 3600 seconds = 28,800 seconds (Backup window in seconds)T = 104857600/28800 = 3,6

Unable to see DB backups from Enterprise Manager or VBR when using Veeam's SQL plugin for SSMS.Not sure if this is by design to allow DBA full control of their backup and restore processes or I’m just missing something here. Thanks again for all your inputs.

Veeam 100 Berlin experience: revisiting history

Hi! I would like to share an additional aspect that I was able to experience during the Veeam 100 Summit in Berlin. In addition to Summit's fantastic agenda, already brilliantly described in posts by colleagues in the community (congrats, @alrasheed) and by @NikolaPejkova , this contact with history was a very constructive and rewarding experience for me!I had the rare opportunity to visit symbols that marked my youth and have always fascinated me.One of the things that impacted me the most during my adolescence was the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which I watched on TV. This event celebrated its 35th anniversary six days ago (!). 👏🏻👏🏻The fall represented a symbolic victory for freedom and determination for the entire world, still caught in the Cold War. It is worth visiting the Berlin Wall Memorial, the Wall Museum near Checkpoint Charlie, and the DDR Museum.As an engineer, I have always admired the incredible engineering behind the Boeing 747, a masterpiece developed in

Error: All backup proxies are offline or outdated -- How to Fix this Error

Someone on the Community reported the error of this post - “All backup proxies are offline or outdated” here -https://community.veeam.com/topic/show?tid=6645&fid=66I ran in to this issue in my HomeLab and opened a ticket with Veeam Support about it. I was able to figure out the issue myself and wanted to post the fix steps here so that if you run in to this issue you can take the steps needed to address it yourself.This error does not seem to report anything in the log files which was the first thing I checked. So, the steps to fix it are as follows -Remove the Proxy from the Veeam console using Delete. Remove the server from Managed Servers section - this will uninstall the components from the server. Log in to the Proxy server to ensure all components for Veeam are gone - if not remove them in the Control Panel Reboot the Proxy server Add the server back in to the Veeam Console as a Proxy server which will reinstall the components again.

Adding a server as vmware Proxy error: Transport service is unavailable

Hi everyone,I have 2 servers with VBR and I’m trying to connect one of those as a backup proxy of the other, so i can manage backups from a single backup server and disable the other one. adding the server as general purpose and CDP proxy works just fine but when I try to add it as vmware proxy it shows me an error message “Transport service is unavailable”. I checked, the service is online and correctly listens on the default port (matter of fact it works as general purpose and cdp proxy, as stated above). The server runs on the very esxi host I’m trying to backup, same hypervisor this server backups daily with no trouble. I updated and rebooted the server with no success. I cannot understand the problem. Can it be because they are slightly different versions?The server that has the problem is version 12.1.1.56 while the server I’m trying configure the proxy in has version 12.1.0.2131. Never encountered this, please help, I read some documentation and the system requirements are fine.

Updated AV Exclusions for Veeam backup and Replication
